I don't know about a buck or two, but I have used the material from a film changing bag to make both bag and traditional belows. The inner material is usually thin and light, easy to work with, and...

I have attended several workshops at the Maine Photographic Workshops, and if your offerings were of a similar calibre and temperment then I would definitely consider it. The biggest drawback for me...

If I am shooting Black and White, then I usually process within a few days. However, if I am shooting chromes, I usually wait until I have amassed enough film (both LF and MF) to justify buying the...

I shoot with most of my LF lenses on several different LF and MF cameras, all having different lensboards, or mounting requirments (in the case of my Mamaiya RZ67, which I love to use my 135mm...

I usually carry with me on trips, a small vacum/suction cup device that was designed for cinematography, made by Visual Departures. It's only about six or seven inches round, but will support up to...

Jay, From time to time, when I know it's going to be wet, I use an old UWA Marine "baggie" style 35mm UW housing to store my quickloads and other film in, 100% waterproof, and QL fit nicely, often...

I have created several sets of envelopes made from Rosco Cinefoil (really heavy-duty black aluminum foil) and black gaffers tape. Each envelope holds 5 QL sheets. While not pretty, the envelopes...

I have been using the 135mm Xenotar for over a decade, it has long been a favorite of mine. Originally I had it mounted in a Polaroid/ProntorPress #1 shutter (for a 127mm tominon), but I had it moved...

I have a 135mm Schneider Xenotar which is pretty sharp edge to edge even wide open at f/3.5, it only gets better stopped down. The lens seems to excell at around
f/11 or f/16. This has long been...

Well, I wanted something small to tramp around the city with, so I made this little camera around a Horseman GG back, gutted nikon 50mm lens (for the helicoid) and a very nice tiny 65mm super...

I found it interesting and refreshing that nowhere in the Herald-Sun's article did it mention specific restrictions to photography "for reasons of national, regional or local security", Which here...

I have made several sets of bellows over the past few years, both pleated and bag. After much frustration finding the right material for making a bellows, I have started to purchase and sacrifice a...

I have also done this with kids in my area, if you want to take a look at examples of the types of cameras we built, here is a link to my pinhole web page; http://www.fotographis.com/pinhole.htm

I have the Sekonic L558r, and have been very pleased. Not having to take your eye away from the viewfinder to glace down at the meter everytime you take a meter reading is very nice! It makes...

I have an old embossing stamp that I picked up at a yard sale a few years ago, I had a new embossing plate made with my name on it. I only use it on the rare occassion that I am presenting a...

I use a "Fishpond Cloudburst Gear Bag". It has a zip-out waterproof rain cover, and very important to me, a moulded waterproof bottom, which means I can set the bag down anywhere and not worry that...

I have had several small darkrooms in the past, and always found that though I really wanted that nice large sink, what I really needed was countertop space. Most of the time when I process in...
